Hi; Thanks for the suggestion. It didn't work but after re-inserting the batteries a few times and hitting the base a few times with the heel of my hand if freed up, although my LED's are flashing, not steady. I was having an overexposure problem with the last couple of rolls that I shot prior to it freezing up on me, so I think it's ready for a CLA at least.
